Thanks Bald Eagle, but I'm on Linux here. There is no C:/... for me.
I'm having a bunch of fonts installed here, but arial.ttf is not present
here.
Recommended timrom.ttf, because it comes with POV-Ray (should this way
be present on every system, that has our raytracer installed) and
already is in sort.pov :))

Right Le Forgeron. I know arial very well. Been on Win upto 98...
On my system there are some arial-lookalikes (for free), but you can't
be sure, to find these on Win, Mac, and, and, and.
Again... timrom.ttf is shipped with POV-Ray :) Why not use it?
Would even save some lines of lines of code. Smaller download this way...
Excuse, just kiddin'!
Side note: It's ok for me having to transfer money to my ISP... But for
nothing more, as far as the net is concerned ;)
Somewhat oldschool, isn't it?

arial.ttf is a standard font that come with all versions of Windows
since Windows 3.0 or maybe earlier. It's copyrighted but free of charge.
It's NOT included with any other OS.
If you have, or had, any version of Windows comming with it, you can
copy it to Linux or MacOS.

Right Alain. I stumbled in the world of Win in it's 3.11 days, if I
recall it correctly. Pretty sure arial.ttf was present.

POV-Ray is shipping crystal.tff, cyrvetic.ttf and timrom.ttf.
These are present on any OS running POV-Ray. They are in the
include-folder... POV-Ray will find them easily ;)

Read this somewhere else: This is Linux-country... On a quiet night you
can hear Windows reboot :))
I like the idea of only using free stuff!
If I'd need the ariallook, I'd use one of it's free clones. I'm fine
here :)))

Yes, ThH, I too would recommend to simply download and install that free
font. And it makes sense: each font has its own spacing and distances
and heights and so on. You can substitute with any other font, but the
risk is, that the sample scene won't look like intended by its author.
Maybe the substitute font is a little bit wider, or higher. Something
like this can destroy the perfection of an entire scene, sometimes. Just
download and install any missing font from the POV-Ray scene files, this
is my honest advise.
